Heat oil in heavy large frying pan. When it is hot, press the dough through and you may cut off the dough with your fingers. Cook for about a minute or so. Then carefully flip over the tambi with a fork. Cook another minute but do not allow turning golden. Remove the when it still looks undone and whitish. Place on kitchen paper towel to drain and cool. Repeat till all the dough is used up. Store as is in a tight container, or crush to small pieces.

In a large saucepan over medium high heat, heat the oil. Brown cumin seeds and bay leaf. Mix in onions and ground beef. Cook until beef is evenly brown and onions are soft, about 5 minutes. Mix in garlic, fresh ginger root. Season with black pepper, salt, cumin, coriander, turmeric, chili powder, cinnamon and cardamom. Stir in the mashed potato mixture. Remove from heat and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour, or until cool.

Heat oil in a large, heavy saucepan over high heat.

Mix cilantro and green chill peppers into the potato and beef mixture. Place approximately 1 tablespoon of the mixture onto each phyllo sheet. Fold sheets into triangles, pressing edges together with moistened fingers.
